“Gospel Thinking Leads to Thanking”
1
Corinthians 1:4-9 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in
him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-- 6 because our
testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you
eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you
will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
